.........your MIL will probably be quite sad by the time she's wrapped it up!  :lol:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Santa is bringing me six laying hens!  :D

Or if he doesn't there will be trouble because I'm in the process of building the coop & run and I will be very, very sad if they stay empty until my birthday in June.   :(

Decent gloves that wont split! I'd love a new pair of secateurs but dont think Ive dropped enough hints.
I will inevitably recieve calenders with garden photos and birds on - at least two, and one allotment cookbook  :happy:

Automatic window opener for my new greenhouse (don't think I'll need to be fitting it anytime soon though!)   :(   :)

Have a fully provisioned allotment but wouldn't mind a couple of very obscure books on the care and repair of ornamental trees (Andre Le Seur's book got lost over a number of moves sadly) just for the pleasure of reading them.

I would like a coldframe, or a little greenhouse heater, or a heated propagator, or a pair of cream legbars, or a nice old flat cap so that i can look like me grandad as well as sound like him (supposedly) ;)

I've wished for anything planty but also those pretty tins from Burgon & ball which I'm kind of addicted to, especially watering cans. My mum is always good at getting me good gardening stuff.  An electric supply in my greenhouse (at home) would be lovely ( or my new shed!), then I would require electric propagators naturally.

Merry Christmas

my mother-in-law is buying me an ibc water tank yay !! :)
The only reason my MIL would buy me a water tank would be to hide my cold dead body in it...

Hopefully santa will bring me lots of garden centre vouchers - always handy! I got a little pressie the other day. Went to the lottment for the first time in a while and found 12 raspberry canes someone had dug out of their plot and given me! Not giftwrapped or anything  :tongue2: but still a nice suprise
Kate
Always thankful for advice!
